Lincoln doesn't even have the prestige to even build a super car. Aston have a history so it's all good and it takes for ever to change people's perceptions and ingrain a certain image they try to sell to the mass market. One reason why car company start sub division scion, lexus, acura, infiniti are made to sell an image. Aston Martin was Ford only supercar company that was worth it.

Meh, I don't care much. As long as they make another Ford GT40 I'm happy.

Aston only got looks. Jaguar going to rape em now that they're not under the same umbrella company. Jag got far superior v8 engine technologies, both the Vantage and the Xk have the same engine series, Aston is too small and poor to invest in better tech. I'm waiting for another AM Vantage 8 vs Jag Xk next gen. ^^
